Albert G. Adams, is rapidly recOv-
ering from his hurts and is able to
be up and about.-Natehez Dem.
A Washington special of the
11th inst. announced that the Pres
ident had sent to the Senate the
name of Hon. o. B. Collins to be
Consul of the United States at
Charlottetown, Peru. Dir. Collins
is a member of the Legislature
from Clarke county, and won great
popularity and admiration at the
last session. His many friends
will rejoice to hear of his good
fortune.-State Ledger.
If the darkies have the River
fever the whites certainly have
the Texas buck ague, for at least
twenty-five families have moved
ont there this winter from the
Free State of Rankin. We sim
cerely hope they may all prosper
in their new homes, but when we
remember that there are thirty
thousand people in the drouth-
stricken section who are in q star
wing condition, it makes us cling
to the poor but wellwatered Ran
kin dirt.-Brandon Republican.
We were panied indeed on last
Saturday to hear of the painful
accident which happened to our
young friend Lawrence Woodry
on Magnolia plantation. 1t seems
that Lawrence was oiling some
part of the machinery when his
hand was caught BY a wheel and
drawn into the machinery and ter
ribly mangled. DR.. Parish, who
was Immediately called, found il
necessary to amputate bis left arm
between the elbow and hand, and
sew up his head and plaster his
face, both of which were terribly
cut. We are glad to learn thai
Lawrence is now improving rap
idly, and hope to see hun out agair
soon.-Mayersville Spectator.
We understand from reliable
sources, that if the town of Wi
mona will re- subscribe the samC
amount, $4,000, which was sub
scribed some years ago, and Car
rOllton will re subscribe $4,000
her former subscription, the Geor
gia Pacific road will be pusheC
right straight through, intersectlnl
the Illinois Central at this place
and passing on to the Mississippi
river. We are told that Senator
George shows his approval of th'
early building of the road by offer
ing to pay one fifth of Carrollton'
subscription money out of his owl
pocket. This shows enterprise
and that General George still ha
the interest of his old home an,
people at heart, and Carrolltol
will beyond doubt vote the sub
scriptlon. But we hear there /
considerable opposition to thl
measure among the largest prop
erty owners of Winona. OF cours
the debt would fall heaviest O
those who own the most property
but at the same time when til
benefits begin to come in, the
would reap the greatest share
Advance.
